I was thinking, with all the new gadgetry coming out of Berlin from IFA convention at the weekend, plus CES, MacWorld, CeBit and all manner of other consumer electronics shows in the US. Where is the good British tech shows around here?

Of course, I know that in a matter of weeks is FOWA – the future of web apps is coming to London, with a live Diggnation, but that’s only catering for one aspect of tech culture. I’m not going but mainly because I’m starting uni that week and, sorry, but I’m not missing freshers fortnight, plus I’m not a big enough tech reporter to make it worth my while. But this is ideal for web app developers, which is (as the title suggests) mostly online and programming based events and only really important to the general public when it effects them or if they can interact with what’s being shown off, just like you can at a gadget’s show. If I’m missing any big tech shows that are on in the UK then PLEASE correct me, but it just seems to me that despite the multitude of tech companies originating from this fair land, we have very few shows in which this gadgetry is shown off.

I was thinking I could try and establish an annual tech show in the UK. But who the hell am I kidding?
